c) Please explain about Hansen’s Bearing Capacity Equation.

Problem No 2

A square foundation is B x B m in
plan. The soil supporting the
foundation has a friction angle of
 and c. The unit weight of soil  and
saturated unit weight of soil sat.
Assume that the depth of foundation
is Df and that general shear failure
occurs in the soil.

 = 20o, 22o, 24o,
c = 14, 15, 16 kN/m2.
 = 17.2, 17.4, 17.6 kN/m3
and sat = 19 kN/m3.
